I think Kristen feels she is the best nanny ever, but she really comes across as arrogant. Eight years with six with one family does not make you a nanny or an expert, it makes you a babysitter! She also has the Do as I say, not as I do attitude. I would hire any of the other nannies over her. Oh wait, maybe she could walk my dog!

I would never hire this woman as a Nanny. She embodies all of the values that I wouldn’t want to expose my kids to–shallow, selfish, and dishonest. Her argument with Amber is a case-in-point. It’s clear to me that she got drunk and bailed on Amber the next day. But, even if she wasn’t drunk, her refusal to take real responsibility for the apperance of having gotten drunk, is troublesome. Also, her advice on clothing and dress, her constant reference to looks and marriage, it all smells of a woman who is more interested in moving up the social ladder than teaching children.

@Maric, she didn’t say. Beverly Hills Sorority was floating around on an episode, I think. She did say she was not recruiting, that she was maxed out with new nannies. @Sharyn, as we both know, it is true- you don’t choose to be a nanny, it chooses you. I too, find it interesting she wants to start an agency but has never used one. I think it will be interesting to see how it unfolds! – Michelle

Great article! I like what Kristin said about not needing to think about being a nanny; you just know. For most nannies I’ve met that is 100% true. I thought it was curious, though, that she felt “blessed” that she didn’t have to use an agency to find a job but that she wants to own an agency herself.

Did Kristen say what her new agency would called? and how was she recruiting additional nannies for agency?

Good interview Michelle. Very nice to hear that she is devoted to the children, supportive of their families and thouroughly enjoys the work that she does.
